Items Requested by Commissioners
There has been a request for improvements to Edith Rodaway Park. This could take different forms such as repaint the wall on the playground, replace foliage that has been removed and perhaps art elements. These art elements, along with painting and/or decorating the wall could involve the school. Bell suggested we look into ways to improve Rodaway Park for the next agenda.
